Atypical Westerns

# Continue BrushJimmy# I want to see the big difference from his previous works, so I chose this one. Although Jimmy is old, his voice is still crisp and his body is still thin. This is the first time I watched John Wayne's movie. It's really a whole body with a western movie from head to toe!

The plot is actually very simple, the two tigers slaying the dragon is a fight against the bandits. At first I thought it would be Jimmy using the law he trusted and Wayne's exquisite marksmanship. Later I realized that the law was actually useless at all, and in the end it had to be solved by force. The reversal behind this piece is good, otherwise the persuasiveness will be too weak.

The emotional drama in the play also has a lot of extra points. Although it is a typical love triangle, it is not bloody. All the tough cowboy is ready to meet the bride is ashamed to confess to the deity. The female protagonist also yearns for whatever she lacks, and she has always been in love with a lawyer who is knowledgeable and not rude, and Jimmy, who is wearing an apron, is so pitiful. My heart broke when I saw the cowboy burning the house. Seeing that the daughter-in-law who was about to get it was cut off by the "outside monk", she couldn't use her ability to take it back. Whether it was a cactus flower or his last pair of riddled boots, they couldn't help but shed tears.

I haven't watched Western movies very much, and I feel that this one is not that typical. Will brush John Wayne in the future. Hahaha.

    On the whole, it is still a little more didactic and more dramatic; the moment John Wayne turns and leaves, it is like the possession of Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday".

    Whether the logic of the film is inappropriate, but it does not affect the theme of its performance; the wild west, the land where many people grow up, also needs civilization to integrate
